I'm struggling with a pocket digi.
Excellent value for money as far as the "normal" stuff goes, but it's just too slow for hi-res action shots. I can put ity in burst mode, which is great for action pics when the action is at your feet, but when there's any distance, the normal modes take 1/2 a second betweeb button-psuh and picture being taken.

Surprising how much can happen in that 1/2 second.

I have a Canon EOS digial camera (ie SLR) and also a pocket one.

The pocket one is VERY difficult to use for moving shots as it takes too long for the photo to be taken, unlike the much better Canon.

The pocket one is OK for scenic shots, portraits eg trophy photos etc but not much use for wildlife. With it one has to track even a slow animal to make sure it stays in the photo even after pressing the shutter. Same as a rifles lock speed hey?

Rained an inch yesterday here!

Guess what I am doing today? Working up a couple of paddocks for a hay crop. I don't have minimum tillage equipment.
